SPECIAL EDITORIAL NOTE FROM SPORTS_NUT, 2/26/2011
.
Welcome to the retirement edition of Funny Sports Quotes.
.
The Funny Sports Quotes blog was created in 11/2007 after I could see I could become a blogger very easily using Google's 3-step process for creating a blog online.
.
For me, like most, work is not my idea of a fun experience, so I had to choose the topic that I would most enjoy pursuing and that, for me, was finding and posting funny sports quotes for entertaining and, in some cases, educating an audience on facets of sports even the most ardent sports fans may not have been aware of.
.
At the same time, I decided to compile a database of funny sports quotes that sports fans and quote fans could visit for "one-stop" shopping, thereby helping them to avoid the need to search elsewhere for sports quotes.
.
So, from 11/2007 until 2/2011. I have compiled quotes on the Funny Sports Quotes blog and its sister blog, FSQuotes, that is accessible only from the Funny Sports Quotes blog.
.
As of 2/26/2011, I believe I have achieved my objective first set in 11/2007, which signals for me the end of my funny sports quotes database project.
.
Kindly note that I have already made the last post (SI Swimsuit) to the blog, shut off further entries to Comments, and I will shut off the email address sports.quotes@gmail.com on 03/14/2011.
.
Also note that many features previously cited on this page have been removed, so that a bare-bones FSQ remains for your future reference.
.
I do hope that my venture was successful in bringing a smile to your face or a skip to your step, since that was all FSQ was created for, your entertainment and pleasure.
.
In closing, I wish you and yours, Godspeed!

SPORTS QUOTE
.
Don Adams was among a group of comedian-golfers who gambled on their games together.
.
During a round one day, James Caan found himself arguing with Adams right from the get-go.
.
"You're gonna give me four strokes aside," Adams said. Caan relucantly agreed. Then Adams said, "We're playing winter rules" (meaning that a ball on the fairway could be rolled over if it was muddy).
.
On the first hole, Adams hit his ball into a barranca. When he went to move it, Caan asked him what he was doing. "We're playing winter rules," he said. Caan argued and they continued playing...
.
On the last hole, Caan made a lovely shot onto the green. Adams, who had already lost several small bets to Caan, hit his second shot into a sand trap. Caan drove his cart up a hill to the clubhouse and started walking back down to the hole.
.
"As I'm walking down the hill," he later recalled, "I see Adams moving his ball from the rough, through the elephant grass -- and he doesn't know I'm standing above him watching him -- and moves his ball all the way to the fringe of the green.
.
I said, 'What the hell are you doing!'
He says, 'We're playing winter rules!' And he starts screaming and everybody's watching [from the clubhouse above]:
'You moved the ball on the fairway!'
'Yeah, on the fairway you can move it!' ...
.
I run down, I literally pick him up, slam him on the ground, I get on his chest, I pry open his mouth and stuff a golf ball in there.
.
So I'm sitting there and I'm looking at him and I just get hysterical [laughing]. I rolled off him and I'm dying, and Adams gets up, and he says,
'Remind me never to go bowling with you!'"
